Saturday was Chloe's first birthday party. We ended up having 37 of our friends and family with us to celebrate. I defiantly got into planning this party and really had fun finding thrifty decorations. The theme was pink and green polka dots so we had a few round tables throughout the yard with pink and green table cloths. I had a happy birthday banner I made with a few pictures of Chloe at different stages of her first year. The food table had polka dots cut outs on the table cloth. The party favors were leftover baby food jars filled with candy. Too much fun! I have no idea why I didn't get a picture of everything set up so you'll just have to picture it in your head. The food turned out pretty good too. My mom and I made ham/swiss and turkey/provolone sliders, blue cheese mini corn dogs, an awesome pasta salad, a fruit salad, and Jeremy made a sun dried tomato/cream cheese dip. And of course we had a birthday cake, that was made by a local bakery. Two to be exact, Chloe got her very own cake. I tried to make these cute little ice cream pops decorated with pink and green sprinkles, didn't happen though. We ran out of time and it didn't go as smooth as the directions made it seem. Chloe did pretty good considering she's been teething. She didn't go crazy for her cake, but she did tear into some of her presents. She really liked watching the other kids open them. That is the recap of her first birthday party. Thank you to all who were apart of our sweet little girls first year!!
